Mini Bear in Stocking

These Mini Bears are all snuggled up in their own little stockings! They are only about 5 inches tall, making them the perfect size to work up quickly with only a little bit of yarn, plus they make great ornaments, stocking stuffers, and gifts!

Materials: • Worsted weight yarn – You can use any worsted-weight yarn for this project. You’ll need red, green, and white yarn, plus a main bear color and an accent color for the snout/nose. For this pattern, I used a combination of Caron Simply Soft and Red Heart Soft yarn. • 3.25 mm crochet hook. • Safety eyes – I used 8mm size (or you can embroider on your own eyes as an option) • Safety nose – I used 11mm size. (or you can stitch it on with your yarn needle as an option) • Black embroidery thread for the eyelashes (optional) • Stuffing – any fiber-based stuffing (such as PolyFil or Fiberfill). • Yarn needle for sewing pieces together and weaving in ends. Bent yarn needles work the best for sewing amigurumi pieces together.
